<p>Check out the project page <a href="http://andrewmercando.com/portfolio/easy_news.php" target="_self">here</a>.</p>
<p>Funny thing someone told me recently, it would actually be cheaper for newspapers to give subscribers eReaders and deliver their news electronically than for them to continue printing physical papers. Something to think about I guess.</p>

<p>The <em>Confluence</em> career fair is done! This will be my last ever as a college student, yay. I was lucky this year to talk to some great people which made the interview day much less grueling, I hope they felt the same about me. I want to thank everyone who sat down with me, keep an eye out for a proper letter of appreciation via snail mail!</p>
